Can you leave the butane cannister in place when you are not using it? Can you use the burner inside the house?

I have always used in the house as they do in hotels. I also leave the canister in but be sure to disengage it.

I don't leave the butane canister in the stove for safety reasons. I only use the burner outdoors. Hope this was helpful.

I grew up in South Korea where most homes have this item sort of like most Homes in the US has a BBQ grill.My family's been using this type of burners for over 3 decades (for family union events, picnics, camping outdoors, etc). As long as you disengage the safe lever when not in use, the butane canister can remind inside. Perfectly safe. I leave mine inside up to an year between uses and have never had any problem.If you feel like you must do something, you could rotate the canister about 90 degrees so the safety lever can't be pushed down accidently (very unlikely).Indoor use is also perfectly safe. Use your common sense. Treat the burner like a full size gas stove, and there won't be any problem.

I do not leave the canisters in place believing that they may slowly leak. I used two of them inside the house for over three weeks during a kitchen remodel and they were great.

I have never used it so I don't know about the first question, but I bought it for the next power outage because it said you could use it in the house.

You take it upon yourself when you do, obviously, but I have used it indoors several times with no problems. Keep the flame low, keep it near an open window or door, and do not leave it unattended. I open the back glass of my truck, open the case & turn it upside down to use as a counter, and set the stove on the case near the open glass. I cook with mine daily and so far, so good. Hope this helps! Also, hit the flea markets for butane, they're about $2 per can.

It seems you could put it anywhere you wanted but if u place it on a cooktop and accidentally turn on the burner underneath it you will damage this expensive appliance.Seems risky. I would love to place mine on my gas cooktop so it is under my ventilating hood. I wondered if a fireproof heatproof board could be placed over the cooktop to protect this device in the event one of my gas burners was inadvertently turned on.

No, you don't have to use it all at once. And you CAN use one can over the course of multiple nights. I go through ONE butane canister every few weeks sometimes...assuming that I am outside for 1 or 2 hours a time. Short answer, you CAN turn it on and off to save the butane.

No, this meant to be used inside the canner to be able to fit a second row of jars. The temperature needed to make the canner come up to proper steam wouldn't be safe, because the rack does not fully touch the burner. There is a definite space between the rack and burner. I would suggest a coil electric burner, or a propane gas burner. A glass top or induction burner wouldn't be safe enough.

yes you can put it out by taking the burner wick off for a min. it will cool down then. I usually just turn upside down and tap it on my leg and the burner will pop off without take unit out of the bag. It takes about 2oz of fluid to fill. I use mine everyday at work when its cold and might use 2 of the big bottles of fluid each winter.I like mine and have 2, one camo and one chrome plated. I keep it in my chest pocket to heat my body core.

I think using it in a tent would be an EXTREME fire danger. You would have OPEN FLAME, unprotected by any shielding. As to using it in the house, I guess you could, because it would be similar to a gas stove burner, but please make sure there are no overhanging cabinets that would be affected by the heat produced. Personally, I would not use it in the house.

Yes I use mine all the time [in winter] indoors. It burns clean, no smell I use mine in a 25' x 35' room that is open to the rest of the house. Buy the butane by the case to get a better price.

Yes, that's how I use it with no problem. Just don't put the flame too high and have the it slightly off to the side of the burner grate so the handle doesn't get hot.

Dear SFL, I have used it indoors once during a power outage nin LA, I took all the precautions as when using it ourdoors and then some, such as making sure doors and windows are open for ventilation, no flammable objects at least 3 ft away, kept flame as low as possible, and did not leave stove unattended during use, furthermore I had a fire extinguisher close by just in case, in short, it is not recommended to use it idoors, but not ruled out either during an emergency. Hope my 5 cents help.Regards, Manuel

Only for use with gas. Burners, located on the bottom, would interfere with charcoal use.

I use it on the outside between the pot and stove burner. I use a bit lower setting to bring water to a boil, but personally I prefer it on the burner. You really have to bend it up some to get it inside and it would be hard to remover it later.

I have been using mine this week with no issues, other than a slight smell. It burns clean as it is alcohol based. In a small, airtight room you may burn the oxygen but in a kitchen, open to the house, that will not happen. I know that a propane stove will put out CO2 and should not be used indoors.

I would ask your local gas company if this can happen via an adapter m perhaps the single burner w/aerosol type fuel canister will work best for you inside. You know the type caterers use.

I turn the tank off first then close the burners. This way you allow the propane in the hoses to burn off. I disconnect the tank (20 lb) and store it upright in a bin of my motorhome.

Yes; I do on the smallest burner. It's a great product... you won't be disappointed!

Yes, the can threads into the burner and is removable. A good portable system.
